Business in the Global Political Economy

MODULE I provides a sophisticated
treatment of the changing global context within which modern business decisions have to be taken. Our principal emphasis is upon the interaction between economics and politics, or political economy. We are not looking so much at business decisions themselves as at the social, political and economic context in which such decisions are made. Hence, the content of Module 1 provides important background for Modules 2-6, which focus on business decisions in sectoral and internal contexts. The objectives include: 1. To identify the central aspects and causes of change in the global political economy; 2. To provide an understanding of the debate over the significance of globalization; 3. To identify the key drivers of technological change and risk in the global economy; 4. To examine current problems in international economic co-operation, and the nature of the main multilateral and regional institutions relevant to business; 5. To begin to understand and develop the implications of these conflicting pressures for business decisions and strategies.

Global Strategies and Finance

MODULE II relates the broad
economic and political themes developed during the London Module to business, corporate and financial strategy, which form this modules core. More specifically, Module 2 is organized into four courses designed to develop participants theoretical, analytical and technical skills in the following areas:

The Rise of China in the Global Marketplace

MODULE III draws upon the unique
perspectives of the Asian context to explore entrepreneurship, operations management, business in emerging markets and Chinas role in the new world order.

Operations Management, Marketing and Corporate Strategy

MODULE IV contributes to building
an articulated approach to organizational and operational issues which are key to strategy implementation and control.

Competing and Thriving in the 21st Century

THIS MODULE will cover the
perspective from challenger companies emerging from rapidly developing economies as well as the view from incumbent firms working to adapt to a changing set of opportunities and challenges. Societal issues in India contribute to the challenge of doing business in this country. Social businesses and the social responsibilities of corporations are also included in this module.

The Challenges of Leadership

MODULE VI provides an opportunity
to develop the core competencies of leading an organization through growth, crises and global development.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

COMPETITIVE STRATEGY

The central economic tenet upon which the course is built is that firms exist to create and capture wealth, above the firms cost of capital. The course covers practical techniques for analyzing these issues, evaluating alternate strategic plans, and anticipating the consequences of specific decisions.

Continues the process of consolidating TRIUM core curriculum.

MANAGING TECHNOLOGY

Understanding the strategic capabilities of advanced digital technologies and the options they generate is the key focus surrounding this subject.

In the leadership capstone course the specific challenges of multinational companies are discussed in the light of theories of leadership. Academics and business leaders will lead discussions and present analysis of core leadership issues surrounding entrepreneurship, strategic development and growth. The process of founding and growing a new enterprise will be highlighted capitalizing on the experience of the many lessons learned during the term project development. Module 6 culminates with the Global Incubator Capstone presentations.

CREATING AND APPROPRIATING B2B VALUE

BUSINESS STRATEGY IN EMERGING MARKETS

Moving beyond the basics of accounting, this course examines how accounting information can be most productively used by managers, in particular by those with international responsibilities.

MANAGING IN CHINA

CORPORATE STRATEGY

RISK MANAGEMENT

Provides analytical frameworks and techniques to understand and measure different types of risk. The course puts an emphasis on instruments available in modern international markets (derivatives) to mitigate financial risk, while building an integrated framework of global risk management linked to strategy. The consequences of unsuccessful risk management will also be addressed including financial distress and restructuring.

The plurality of organizational types and fluid changes in each type make management in todays China a challenge for every manager. This course will cover key management issues facing companies in China (including foreign-invested and state-owned companies).

Achieving sustainable and profitable growth is a critical objective for most firms. Senior management must therefore constantly be re-thinking the scope of the firms activities and thus be making Corporate Strategy decisions.

The rapidly growing emerging economies are now not only an important market for multinationals, but also increasingly a locus of their innovations and capabilities. This course will examine this next phase of globalization and how it will impact the way multinational businesses and emerging economy firms compete in the 21st century.

NEGOTIATION ANALYSIS

CHINA IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, AND ALLIANCES

We continue to look at globalization and international politics delving more deeply into Chinas place in the global order. Chinas economic history and growth will be analysed along with its relationships to other emerging economies and world economic leaders.

Analytical and practical insights to identify the strategic objectives of international mergers, acquisitions, and alliances are reviewed at this stage. The whole process of a deal is covered in order to provide participants with real world understanding.

This course reviews negotiation analysis and practice given insights from economics, psychology, and decision sciences. By the end of the course, participants have a conceptual framework which will help them turn their own negotiating experience into expertise.

PROFESSIONAL AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

By developing a set of analytical perspectives for making judgments this course examines the role of ethical norms and reasoning in resolving issues in managerial life and in establishing standards of professional responsibility.

THE TRIUM FINAL TERM PROJECTS are often quite entrepreneurial in their
design and specially developed by participants to address global issues. Past projects have touched on a myriad of subjects, from alternative biofuel distribution networks to private equity ventures in emerging markets. Several examples of recent ventures follow:

GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
THE TRIUM PROGRAM is grounded in the philosophy that senior-level global
executives must think and perform like entrepreneurs. This is most evident during the global modules and in-between distance learning, where students benefit from a combined theoretical and entrepreneurial approach. In each of the different modules, participants work collaboratively with faculty and peers through finance, risk management, operations and marketing challenges to arrive at innovative solutions to complex global issues. It is an ongoing, seamless blend of theory and application that has real-world relevance for senior executives. The TRIUM final term project best reflects the culmination of this applied global entrepreneurial approach. This project is a highly collaborative exercise that gives participants the opportunity to apply the concepts and techniques learned through the program to a unique, self-selected global business initiative. Participants create self-formed groups that identify a strategic global issue and deliver a fully worked-out business plan. The group project is presented to a board of directors consisting of TRIUM alumni, professors and academic directors during the final module.

TRIUM alumni enjoy full access to the privileges, benefits, services and contacts available through the alumni associations of NYU Stern, LSE and HEC Paris. The TRIUM Alumni are true ambassadors for the program. Here is what some are saying: People who are attracted to TRIUM, both students and faculty, are GLOBALISTS IN THE TRUE SENSE OF THE WORD they see the world as their home and not just as their market. ADAM ROGERS, Strategic Communications Advisor, United Nations Capital Development Fund, Geneva, Switzerland TRIUM has a major key selling point that everyone is trying to emulate, and that is putting BUSINESS WITHIN A WIDER SOCIOPOLITICAL CONTEXT. There is no way you can run a global business without better understanding how different societies and cultures function around the world.

They really care about you as a person and make a big effort to match your professional and personal interests with others.
